First Game
March 14th we traveled to bolzano which u can find on the map above is about a 3 and half bus ride. It was the first Home Game we had to change the location due to the winter storm we had during the week. (by those pics below)
So we get to bolzano 2 hours before game time, it is a great sceneiary mountains behind the field and the field was the best in italy.
Game starts out great they get the ball first, and even though our defense got them a three and out they did score on us on a long screen play down the left sideline the one where i was on the other side of the field, but it got called back for a holding and 2 plays later we recover a fumble. we get the ball on the 50 yard line toss right 30 yard gain to me next play 5 yard hitch to craig the WR 20 yard TD.
Second drive they get the ball and their american were a guy named bradlee van pelt he played in the nfl for a couple years never really stayed anywhere and they had a Wr from Ohio university dont know his name because he was very bad he made 2 catches for 50 yards and 2tds he was out of shape didnt even play the whole 3 and none of the 4th. but anyway their offense was bad all they did was try to throw it deep to the american wr which like i said only made 2 catches so needless to say it didnt work very good haha. but it was a good match up. the game was a lot of fun it was about 60 degrees out and the sun was setting over the field so after half time it was dark and a lil chilly. The game was dominated by us we beat them in everything we they could not stop our offense we scored every time we had the ball and in the 3rd quater we had the for 10 out of the 12 min but it was really strange that we didnt have a time clock so we never really knew what the score was. at one point in the game i asked 3 refs on what time it was and they gave me 5:20, 4:00, and 3:15. so andrew the coach started putting in our second string because the score was 42-21 but the real time on the clock was 6:45 so there was still alot of time. and what do we do go 3 and out and snap the ball over the punters head so he has to dive on it and they get the ball our 35 yard line. so it takes 3 plays for them to score because our D is nasty on 1st down I blitz off the edge and make the Qb scramble becasue i missed the sack (haha) but i make him run to the left which is where our D-line was to clean it up so i point myself for a huslte play haha just helping the d out. but on second down they try a run and we handle that for a 3 yard gain then next play they throw it up to the american which we had double covered and scored a TD so the score is 42-29 everyones pissed because we didnt know what time and we gave points away so the first string O goes on the field and we run run and run till we score making a statement that we cant be stopped then they started takeing there startes out and it was over 49-29
After the game we celebrated with bottles of beer everyone was excited and we had a long bus ride home. im not really sure if they understood that because they were taking forever to get going we stayed at the stadiuam for an extra 2 hours and then we stopped an auto Grill off the highway and took another hour there so everyone was haveing a good time i was in pain from all the scraps and brusies i got from the game haha but it was worth it. im feeling a lot better and i will be ready to go for game number 2. the only thing is that its on of the worst fields in italy so it will be interesting.

Lil taste of HOME!
Well this week is the start of the season our first game is on Sunday at 3pm. i think that would be 9am your time. Well the past few days have been interesting to say the least, mondays practice was cold but during the day monday it was 60 degrees and then tuesday rolls around and its starts snowing around 5 pm and it hasnt stop since. as u can see by the pictures on how much snow we got, it reminds of a lil bit of home which is a lil refreshing but the bad part is that all this snow needs to melt and the ground needs to be dry by sunday for the game. wither way we will be playing sunday so i will let everyone know what happens in the game...thanks for following miss everyone
